Yes. Lots of people that had never worn a watch got used to wearing a watch with the Apple Watch. Then got sick of its limitations or more commonly the incessant notifications. They then went looking for a cool fashion statement. They tended to turn to either crap fashion brands hence the explosion of them in the past few years, or went for affordable vintage and started scaling up. It’s fairly well documented.
I stand corrected. I guess I'm seeing this from my own bubble. I have many friends who wear Apple or other tech watches but who have no interest in vintage.

Had to resurrect this old thread, because, guess what? As many of us suspected, it was all a huge fraud.


Not really a smart legal move to confess to everything on YouTube, but he hasn’t been that smart about much of anything.

Yep, dumb people be dumb.

Or maybe the primary goal was attention.

I watched 30 seconds of this video and I don't think I could possibly watch the rest. If someone has watched it and wants to give a brief summary, it would be much appreciated. Or, is "it was all a huge fraud" all we need to know.

"The last several days have been the hardest days of my life. I have become a person I never wanted to become. I am an Alcoholic. I'm a Drug Addict. I have a gambling problem. I have a spending problem. I have a problem with authority. I'm not willing to listen to other people. I have betrayed people's trust that were close to me. I have taken advantage of people. I have hurt people. I have been living a fake life. I am a fraud. I owe a lot of people a lot of money. I got a little taste of success and let it go to my head. I let my demons consume me. I threw away everything I built when I was sober. The last 6 months I haven't been happy. I've pretended to be, while secretly battling this constant need to show a perfect face. This need to feel good about myself and make others think I'm successful. I've made a lot of bad decisions and I've done a lot of stuff I'm not proud of. I can't change what I've done but I don't want to live the way I've been any longer. I'm Sorry"

The comment section on youtube is being brutal to him lol.

Although at 4 minutes in his complaining about haters on social media, makes the preceding 4 minutes all just bullshit. The guy does not have remorse, he is complaining that he has repercussions.

So, standard stuff that dysfunctional and fraudulent people say when they engage in dysfunctional and fraudulent activities? If I had a nickel...

Same here. Basically everything in the subreddit is true lol. He stole a minimum of $5 million doing his ponzy schemes.

Also - "I'm not a bad person, I just did some bad things". Oh, and "I'm going to do everything to make people whole"

5 million. FIVE MILLION! How the hell can he pay that back (with interest)? He's still delusional.

Right? He did say in the video “hopefully I can get a job, I don’t know.” Yeah… okay.

Some poor guy on a Paul Thorpe video was saying he consigned an 18k watch with him. And then, before that was sold, bought a 40k watch from him! I feel very sorry for him but never had the phrase "buy the seller" been more appropriate. He's never seeing that watch or that 18k again.

He's also proven to be a massive liar. Even this week he was at first saying he got robbed and was down a million. Now it's 5 million. There's a part of me that still thinks it might be a weird PR stunt. Just can't believe a single thing he says, even when it looks like he's finally admitting to everything.

Bonkers.

Dude doesn't even have a fresh roll of paper towels.
Anyone who uses all of their paper towels, and can't be bothered to immediately throw away the empty cardboard tube is NOT OK in my book.

I have a feeling that, by this reasoning, there are no bad people in the world.

Consequences are for other people?

I always find it incredible to what degree and extent dysfunctional and disordered (or just illogical or selfish) people will go to to preserve their own ego and sense of identity. Or what they are willing to acknowledge about themselves as true with while simultaneously maintaining that they are objectively "good."
